The Zoning Board of Appeals will consider a zoning variation application submitted by Shaun and Julie Krueger, owners of the property at 346 Park Avenue, who are seeking a zoning variation to increase the maximum height allowed for an accessory building.

Per the Minor Variation granted on December 27, 2016, the detached garage was allowed to be constructed with a height of 18.9 feet above “grade”.
The detached garage for the subject property was inadvertently constructed with a height at the ridge of 18.98 feet above the elevation of the Public Walk.
